“Con Fusion” shows Lofoten, Norway from three points of view; Google Maps’ Street View function, based on 360 degrees photographies taken from the top of a car, Google Earth’s animations of the earth based on satellite imagery, and the artists own video footage from travelling in the area. The three different visual inputs are shifting rapidly according to the beat, inspired by the “flicker films” of the1970s, in an attempt to connect or merge the physical experience from her travels there with the more objective data perception of the place. The sonar sound, used in technology to navigate or measure landscape, works as a reminder of the physical distance between the place we are looking at onscreen, to the signal sent into outer space and back again.
